with the fix for JDK-8219971 a syntax error was introduced to the CreateVSProject.gmk file. In the code starting at line 147 there is one to many closing parenthesis ('$(call FixPath, $(VCPROJ_FILE)))')

After changing
  $(eval $(call SetupExecute, vcproj_file, \
      INFO := Generating Visual Studio project file, \
      DEPS := $(BUILD_PROJECT_CREATOR) $(VCPROJ_VARDEPS_FILE), \
      OUTPUT_FILE := $(VCPROJ_FILE), \
      COMMAND := $(PROJECT_CREATOR_TOOL) $(PROJECT_CREATOR_CLASS) \
          $(PROJECT_CREATOR_ARGS) -projectFileName $(call FixPath, $(VCPROJ_FILE))) \
          $(LOG_INFO), \
  ))
to this
  $(eval $(call SetupExecute, vcproj_file, \
      INFO := Generating Visual Studio project file, \
      DEPS := $(BUILD_PROJECT_CREATOR) $(VCPROJ_VARDEPS_FILE), \
      OUTPUT_FILE := $(VCPROJ_FILE), \
      COMMAND := $(PROJECT_CREATOR_TOOL) $(PROJECT_CREATOR_CLASS) \
          $(PROJECT_CREATOR_ARGS) -projectFileName $(call FixPath, $(VCPROJ_FILE)) \
          $(LOG_INFO), \
  ))
and adding the missing 'include Execute.gmk', the target works again.
